How do I delete an app that was initiated by a previous owner?

Just went into the app store to see if there were any apps to be downloaded or updated.
I found one for updating that was apparently initiated by a previous owner/user. I don't particularly want the app, so is it possible to delete it from the app list?

That list is your Purchase history. The App is no longer on your Phone. Purchased History cannot be deleted, because it registers your previous purchases so you can download them again if you need to without paying again for them. It tells you and Apple what applications you have purchased (i.e you own ) So you can have access to them for download when you need to.
The best you can do is hide the purchase.

    How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
    Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge

    How do i delete an app that came with the latest 8.2 software update?

    Since you can't delete apps that are part of iOS, you should try the same thing I do. I create a folder which I call Worthless and move to the last page of my iPhone. I then put all the apps that Apple includes with iOS into that folder. With the name Worthless, I never even tempted to look in there again. That is about the only thing you can do with worthless apps that are included with iOS.

  • I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back?

    I accidentally deleted an app that was not backed up to the cloud; can I get it back? It wouldn't matter too much except that it was a paid app. A search of topics wasn't successful. I've learned a lot from these discussion support communities. Thank you for any help.

    You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they won't show in the Purchased links : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

    How do I delete an app that hasn't fully downloaded?

    If Demo's suggestion doesn't work, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone.  How do I delete an app that I installed but really don't want to keep?

    I just purchased the new Nokia windows phone.  How do I delete an app that I installed but don't want to keep?

    You are welcome! I played with the 928 in a Verizon store and really liked it. Besides the great camera and Nokia Maps, I'd be pretty excited about Nokia Music, too. As I understand it, this free app lets you create playlists from its entire music library, which can be stored on your device to listen to any time.
    There are a few members on the WP board who are really knowledgeable about Nokia and WP, so let us know if you have more questions.

  • How can I delete an app that doesn't show as installed but is?

    I can not delete an app that is on my iphone 5.  Unfortunely I do not remember the name of it!  It shows up as a moveable round botton within a square on all opened screens. When tapped it opens up four options: Favorites, Siri, Device and Home.  It was a cool time saver with the iOS5, but with the addition of comand center in iOS7 It is rather in the way.  Does anyone know the name of this app and or how to uninstall it??  Thanks for any help

    That did it, it's gone!  I don't understand, is it uninstalled? 
    THANK YOU so much

  • How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have.  But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded.  soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

    How do I delete an app on iTunes?  I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete".  But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either).  I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

    If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
    Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

  • How I retrieve a purchased app that was taken down?

    Hello. I would like to discuss with this problem that I have just encountered. Recently, I've chosen a back up storage and then iCloud was restoring my iPhone. There was a link of the app showing that it was there then suddenly it vanished off the iPhone screen. I've tried to restore it again and again. Same thing happened, link of the app was showing and then in a matter of seconds, it vanished. I checked my apple account(I have also checked in the hidden purchased apps, I got zero results) , the app that I have purchased for $3.99 was no longer existed. They said that the developer of the app(Yu Zeng) took it down, due to lack of office use. I really loved that app and I paid good money for it. So the question is,"How do I retrieve a purchased app that was taken down? Or "Is it possible to retrieve a purchased app that was taken down?" If there is any solution to this matter, please do tell. I really need a lot of help!
    Video Downloader Pro is the app that I really loved.

  • How do i delete an app that just says 'loading...' but never has an X

    i downloaded garage band. I have also re-synced my ipad and my computer many times.
    the problem: the garageband icon just forever says 'Loading....' but never actually does.
    I cannot delete it like a fully loaded app because there is never an 'X' that is there when you press it.
    I have tried to reload the app by simplye plugging into the computer as normal when you 'sync' but this app never leaves the 'loading...' mode.
    Help! I either want the app to load and work or I want to delete it.
    For now, since we cant seem to get it to work...how do i delete it?
    I have the ipad with the largest storage and the 3G

    I've just been through this experience with Pages.  I assume the application shows up in your iTunes, under Apps, correct?  If so:
    1) with your iPad connected to your computer, CTRL click on your iPad name under Devices and select the Back-up option.
    2)  from your Summary page (see menu buttons at top of screen), select the Restore button.  NOTE:  This is going to restore your device to factory settings and will take a little bit of time). 
    3)  when the Restore function is finished, there will be an option on the screen to restore from you iPad backup.  Click on that.
    At this point, my Pages application was now an active and accessible icon on my iPad.
    One caveat, this morning when I downloaded a small "to do" app from the App Store, I watched as my Pages icon on the iPad went into "Paused" mode and then plunged into the perpetual "Loading" and/or "Waiting" modes again.  After repeating the steps above, it is once again active on my iPad, but I now wonder if I'm going to have to back up, restore to factory setting, and then re-install everything each time I download a new app...?  Only time will tell.
    This is a problem associated with the 3G service, with it's 20MB limit and, I'm assuming, will occur with every download that exceeds 20MB...?
    I understand that access to WiFi resolves the issue; unfortunately, I don't have WiFi.
